[OT] Dodge Magnum SRT
8D
Stopped by the Dodge dealer to get a cheapo oil change prior to doing another later next month. Run some of the crudbunnies out. So having some time to kill I start looking at the Magnum and Charger. Talked to the salesman, one thing lead to the other and I'm off on a test drive. The Charger has that Hemi MDS like the Jeep but was very smooth on the streets and had only a teeny hesitation off the on-ramp with smooooooth power all the way to 120mph and very good breaking as it got to 120 about 200ft away from the off-ramp. :) The MagnumSRT (even being a heavy station-wagon) was just plain nucking futs! One thing for sure, they both left a smile on my face and fingerprints on the passenger side panic bar. Trunk on the Charger is HUGE, we're talking four dead bodies at least. And the window isn't as high up there as the Chrysler 300 C. The Magnum, I dunno.. it's a >station wagon< and I keep getting flashbacks to a baby ---- brown, wood grained, chrome trimmed, whitewall tire festooned smogbomb. Both have the battery in the back and loads of goodies. I just can't get over how large the Charger is.. it's about the size of my old Mercury Grand Marquis, with maybe a slightly shorter hood. Wanted to try the Charger R/T but they didn't have one. :/ -- DougW |

Thanks. You got me thinking of the original Bo and Luke, and that Plymouth
dealer I used to walk by on the way to high school. Definitely a newsgroup charter violation.
